Wow, this is really nice. I think tweaking it to include the file path and putting in a little box to the lower right of the mouse would be perfect for my needs.

Wow, a nice piece of work!
Like Marc said as userJS it’s a good alternative for the Firefox plugin for Opera users.

But i must admit that for a single website the CSS solution of Mr.X. is more elegant.

Anyway THX for this useful class.

David, thanks a lot for that.
Another of many useful tips, if I may call your hard work like that! =)

Thanks!

Well, I haven’t set it up, but you could use it as user javascript in opera. Then it would pop up for all links in all website. This could be an alternative use I think.

a[href $= '.pdf']{ padding-left:20px; } a[href $= '.pdf']:hover{background: transparent url(../style/icons/find.png) no-repeat scroll left top;}

@David Walsh maybe so but it is easily fixed.

You can do it like this

print(“a[href $= '.pdf']{padding-left:20px;}”);

print(“a[href $= '.pdf']:hover{background: transparent url(../style/icons/pdf.png) no-repeat scroll left top;}”);

@Mr.X.: I’d usually agree but having icons all over place makes the page look like a circus.

I find css selectors better. Don’t take me wrong this is great, but if you have a lot of script on your site, this would not be something I would recommend. Using just css is way smaller and has the same effect without fancy animation. For anyone who does not know about this.

Nice script.

Cheers!
